Since you didn't provide any example code to verify this with, I'm going to assume that your code is indented using tabs and that this is another case of jshint/jshint#3151.

If anyone is directed to this issue that isn't using tabs to indent their code please provide an example bit of code to reproduce this with so we can get a detailed issue filed on the JSHint project so they can fix this there!

There are reports that if you set your indent property of your JSHint configuration to 1 this issue can be worked around. If you don't have a .jshintrc file the following should work:

{
  "indent": 1
}
